The first duck across the line wins you $10,00 cash, second place wins $600 - there are prizes right down to sixth place.

Tickets will be on sale from the 3rd December 2016 right up until the start of the race.

Shakespeare in the Settlement 'Much Ado About Nothing'

'Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.'

After victory in battle, Don Pedro leads his soldiers, including the dashing Claudio and the clever wordsmith Benedict, to the home of Leonato. The soldiers are greeted warmly by Leonato and his charming daughter Hero and consequently invited to stay. Leonato's witty niece Beatrice engages in a merry war of words with Benedict both proclaiming their scorn for love, marriage and each other. In contrast, Claudio and Hero meeting for the first time, are instantly love struck and are quickly betrothed.

However the bastard brother of Don Pedro, Don John, devises a meddling plan to mess with the unfolding romance. Lovers are deceived and happiness is threatened. Dogberry and Verges, the comical night watchmen, appear just in time, ensuring that good will defeat all evil.

'Much Ado About Nothing' is a timeless tale of two pairs of lovers - and the people who want them to be together, and the people who try to rip them apart.

Under the setting sun, Essential Theatre and Swan Hill Performing Arts invite you to relax in the grounds of the Swan Hill Pioneer Settlement and join in the delight of this colourful and charming comedy
